How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ryeish Green

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Ryeish Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ryeish Green, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Ryeish Green

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ryeish Green questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
